Fantasy Tip: Cueto is really the only pitcher in this five that deserves heavy fantasy baseball attention as an ace for your fake staff. The others are all likely just NL-only targets, with DeSclafani and Iglesias possessing intriguing upside.

Fantasy Tip: It is likely to be a fourth or fifth spot at best, but at least it is a spot after a year on the shelf with injuries. Marquis may be worth a late-round flier if you need some pitching help for your bench, but his fantasy value has dwindled considerably from Marquis' heyday.

Philadelphia Phillies SP Jason Marquis was released from his minor league contract at Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday, Aug. 31. The move makes him a free agent but he will not be eligible for postseason play unless he signs with a club on Sept. 1.

San Diego Padres SP Jason Marquis (elbow), who will undergo Tommy John surgery, plans to continue his career and pitch again. "I think, as of right now, he plans on pitching again," manager Bud Black said of the 34-year-old Marquis, who has been in the big leagues since 2000. "I think he wants to come back and compete." Marquis could have surgery as soon as next week.

Fantasy Tip: This doesn't sound good, and it's possible that we won't see Marquis back on the mound for the rest of the season. If Marquis is down for the count, expect Tyson Ross to enter the rotation.
